vsavatar:Yet another person who can't come to terms with the fact that her food was a living and breathing creature at one point. If you can't stand the thought of eating an animal, then don't eat them. Don't pick and choose parts and sanitize the thought that what you're eating used to be alive.

I was in line at a fast food joint talking with a friend about a upcoming wild boar hunt I was invited to when the lady in front of me turned with a disgusted look on her face and said something along the line of "hunting is barbarous and should be outlawed", I pointed to the burgers on her tray and replied "at least I have the guts to face my prey, I don't send assassins after it"

sendtodave:Bravo Two: I submit that it's not the killing that is enjoyed, that's the price of the trip and is accepted/endured like the muscle ache after the gym. The enjoyment comes from being out in nature, testing your wits as a predator in an unfamiliar environment, and generally enjoying a radically different experience than the day to day.

Then why not take a camera instead of a gun?

You can even put a little red crosshair in the middle of the lens to prove to everyone how you could have bagged that buck.

As a vegetarian I'll admit I have a serious pet peeve with people who condemn hunting but eat meat. If hunting is cruel what the fark is factory farming?

Well, she's been shamed off the internet, it seems (Twitter account deleted). One of her public tweets, from the screenshot, seems to be: "@Safeway free icecream [sic] for life or I call the police and tell them it's a human hand."
